Baby Shark

Hello,
I spent time this morning formatting my shark seaside collection pattern, ready for putting up for sale on Ravelry, Etsy, amazon kindle and Lovecrafting.com.
I am really fond of this little fellow!  I took him to Prestwick Beach to photograph.  He got a few looks from visitors!

I'm still working on the premature baby jacket I started last weekend.  I had a bit of a cold over the last week, and I'm now just getting round to picking up my knitting again to finish it.

Keep posted to see the photograph of the finish jacket!

Premature Baby Knitting Pattern 1224

Hello,
It is half way through February, and the weather is rather wild!  I did a bit of decluttering/organising of yarns yesterday, which felt good.  And I started a new premature baby knit pattern that I'd bought a few years ago but haven't had the opportunity to knit till now.  I'm using the lovely MillaMia 4ply merino yarn in 'ice' instead of the recommended Peter Pan Baby Merino 4ply - which should work out the same.  It is the long sleeved cards that I am working on.  It has a delicate lace pattern with stocking stitch above.  It is lovely to knit, and so far I've not had any problems.  I'm a little unsure of using the merino yarn as some babies can be allergic to wool, so I might make another using Sirdar Snuggly 4ply.  Keep watching to see the finished result.
